Buy and Renew Scheme (BRS)

The Buy and Renew Scheme supports local authorities to purchase properties that are in need of repair from property owners, in order to utilise these properties for the purpose of increasing social housing stock. It will be at the discretion of each local authority to determine if the property meets the criteria for social housing, taking into consideration several factors.

This scheme aims to increase the number of properties available for Social Housing and at the same time alleviate the issue of vacancy/dereliction throughout the County.
